Response Functions<br />

„brute force method“:<br />

1. synthesis of Stokes spectrum in<br />

given model atmosphere<br />

2. perturbation of one atm.<br />

parameter<br />

3. synthesis of „perturbed“ Stokes<br />

spectrum<br />

4. calculation of ratio between<br />

both spectra<br />

5. repeat (2)-(4) (2) (4) for all τ τi, i, λ λi,atm. i, atm.<br />

parameter, atm. comp.<br />

The smart way:<br />

� knowledge of source function,<br />

evolution operator and<br />

propagation matrix<br />

� direct computation of RFs<br />

possible (all parameters known<br />

from solution of RTE RTE, simple<br />

derivatives)<br />
